Repeat after me: Your NOSE is for breathing, your MOUTH is for eating.

- sn41 4y agoGreat advice. I'll just pass it on to my autoimmune disorder to unclog my sinuses. /s
- agumonkey 4y agowhat disorder is this ? overproduction of mucus ? or inflammed tissue blocking air flow ?
- sn41 4y agoThe first. If you have some advice on this, I'll be extremely glad to follow up on it!
- agumonkey 4y agoI wish, I think I developed a form of this. For a year or so I've been having huge episodes of nasal problems. - large amount of mucus (I stopped counting tissue after the 1000 mark [0]) - strange consistency of mucus (thicker, and glue like) - very narrowed nasal cavity I've been allergic half my life, so nose issues are not new, but not of that nature and that scale. And your comment reminded me of this.. I wonder if I took something that altered my body immune response (or maybe my brain just lost it) [0] it got to a point where I was physically exhausted from sneezing, abdominal cramps and nausea.. "surprising" to say the least
- agumonkey 4y agohi again, this video about vitamin D physiology popped on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDBZM1n_uDE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDBZM1n_uDE apparently it's an important control molecule for the immune system
- sn41 4y agoHey, Thanks for following up! My Vitamin D level is deficient. I want to somehow address this as well, let's see what effect it has.
- MonkeyClub 4y agoThat’s some solid advice right there. Also, no jamming jam into the ear, ya hear? Now, apart from the fun rendition (“mouth breathers are dumb”), this gives an interesting explanation on why I feel dumb when I’m congested.
- bitwize 4y agoAnd when breathing through your nose, remember not to sniff petrol from a can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1yeBmSFkC4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1yeBmSFkC4
- MonkeyClub 4y agoYou’re just trying to take all the fun away. Anyway, is glue still ok?
- iamacyborg 4y agoExcept for when you’re performing any hard aerobic exercise, at which point you have to breathe through your mouth.
- jonsen 4y agoWe are not designed for hard aerobic exercise.
- iamacyborg 4y agoAnd yet we’re remarkably good at it
- gherkinnn 4y agoWhat makes you believe that a species that evolved from persistence hunters is “not designed” for hard aerobic exercise?
- twojacobtwo 4y agoIsn't the idea behind persistence hunting that it's long-term, low effort aerobic exercise? That is, our ancestors were good at maintaining low-speed pursuit for long distances, but not so great at sprinting after prey.
- gherkinnn 4y agoSprinting is anaerobic.
- bsza 4y ago...and when you're intubated with an NG tube.
- balaji1 4y agoSomeone more athletic or fitter than you wouldn’t mouth breath at the level of activity you mouth breath at. Their capacity is higher.
- sschueller 4y agoBut where do we speak out of?
- davidgay 4y agoTry having a bad asthma attack, and then get back to us :(
- adaml_623 4y agoI'm really intrigued about who told you this or how you (or they) determined this knowledge? In your society while growing up where people aware of how others were breathing and instructed them? Is this knowledge more like right handedness vs left handedness, scrunch vs fold, sit or squat, not sleeping with fans or more like not drinking white wine with red meat?
